Classic Rhône Garrigue nose with a somewhat jammy palate. Good value.

80% Grenache and 20% Carignan. If tasted blind I would have guessed partial whole cluster Syrah with some stems added back in. Dynamic with excellent texture.

Great start on first drink with burst of berries but then very dry and spicy, almost bitter.

Strong, bold taste with plenty of pepper. Not very complex, but paired well with lasagna.

2013v. I loved the 2012 vintage and this one is great too. A lot of complexity in this bottle at a great price point. Huge nose: strawberry and blackberry, menthol and garrigue, black olive and earth. On the palette, dark inky fruit with the garrigue lingering on the finish. Long finish, with a little bit of pronounced alcohol. Youthful tannins that dry the mouth without too much grip. 15% ABV. 70% grenache/30% syrah.
